Denver Restaurant Week Moves to Spring in 2021


If this were a normal year, we’d just be pushing back from the table after the ten-day eating orgy that is usually Denver Restaurant Week. But this isn’t any normal year.
On March 5, 2020, five days after the finale of last year’s Denver Restaurant Week — the sixteenth annual celebration of the city’s culinary scene designed to coincide with a slow time of year for restaurants — Colorado registered its first COVID-19 case. By March 17, all restaurants across the state had been ordered closed for anything other than takeout and delivery. In late May, most were able to reopen their dining rooms at very limited capacity levels, but it’s been a tough, tough time for the dining industry.

Denver Restaurants Deserve Your Support, Even If You Don't Dine In, Says Reader


More than 200 restaurants opened in metro Denver last year by Mark Antonation's count, which he shared this past week in "Restaurant Roll Call: Every Opening and Closing in 2020." And despite the problem that the pandemic added to an already challenged dining industry, the number of eateries that closed in 2020 wasn't much higher than in 2019.
But that doesn't mean restaurants are doing well. Many eateries have decided to hibernate for the next few weeks, maybe even months, and although dining rooms across Colorado were allowed to reopen this week, they can only operate at 25 percent capacity, with many other safety precautions because of the pandemic. Even so, fast-food locations, in particular, are not immune, as evidenced by recent In-N-Out Burger outbreaks.
